    1. Nice photo, is there a name or a unit on the backside? This could be a bavarian.
    2. Walter spent a lot of time to write this book. He told me, about 10 years. He reworked the book over and over again. Researched in archives and the available source literature. The book in its kind has the "Schrettinger" as an example. Great work, I am also quite excited. Greetings Andreas
    3. That is not the Prince Alfons badge. This kind of badge could be for a wedding-jubilee, but I don't know which. This is the Alfons-badge
    4. What a brilliant chain. A long service officer who had been in three wars. He got no fighting-award like a MVO or a iron cross. The rare Ludwigskreuz was given for 50 years of service in the bavarian army. The cross had to be returned after the death of the bearer. That is one reason, why this cross is so rare. This cross was also given to bavarian officials, priests and other persons in a equal rank of an officer. The non-officers got a golden medal for 50 years of service.
    5. What a nice bavarian chain. This must be avery high official. He got the order of the bavarian crown, knightscross. So he could change his name in "Ritter von" (knight of). The Michaelsorden will be the trhird class and the Luitpoldmedal ist the silverclass. That looks very fine.
    6. What a huge collection. which collector has the money and the place for so many items?
    7. Hello, I'm searching the name of this german WW2 General with knightscross. Has anyone an idea?
    8. Can you show better pictures of the MVO? Very nice a noncombattant NCO with 15 years sevice-cross. Very fine bar!!!
    9. Here my new entry with austrian and german decorations. The chain is marked with Hemmerle Munich
    10. Yes it is the production till 1916 with golden medaillons by Weiss. Very nice officers-bar. The MVO has a fine, old patina with its own caracter. Typical bavarian bar, the MVO is in front of the prussian EK. regards Andreas
    11. Very fine. The MVO is from the manufacturer Weiss. I think golden medaillons. Please show us the backside. Regards Andreas
    12. The award on the third position would be the medal of the golden wedding of King Ludwig III. Thanks for the beautiful pictures
    13. wow, that is a wonderful grouping. Congretulations Will you show us the ring in better pictures?
    14. Gratulation, you've got a early 1914 bavarian MVK second class with swords. Manufacturer of this nice cross was Jakob Leser. Regards Andreas
    15. very nice collection. What is the difference between the silver bar and the bar with swords? regards Andreas
    16. There are no different classes. Pure economic reasons were the reason for the changeover. From the end of 1916, the crosses were only given in the version of silver gilt.
    17. Hello, the jubileemedal is a postwar production. Look at the ringholder, it is smaller than the original. The original medal is much thicker. Here the two kinds, left original right postwar production. regards Andreas
    18. Hello, the MVK is a bad fake, the enamel looks awful. The Jubileemedal is also bad. regards Andreas
    19. Hello, the medal looks good, but I think the ribbon and the bars are not from WW1. It is the first threetime-bar I see. I only know the single and the double bar.. I thougt the bar is only for the silver medal not for the bronce medal.
